Chapter 41
After the program group’s updated video was broadcast, the topic ## quickly became a hot search, and soon attracted countless passers-by who did not know the truth to click into the topic.
The topic’s popularity continued to ferment, and even those who hadn’t watched the show were shocked by Gu Rui’s various show operations.
Under a popular Weibo, the comment that received the highest praise was this: “I thought I was watching a TV series. How can such a person who uses various subtexts to connotate teammates and seniors behave so naturally?”
Everyone agreed with this comment.
“Really took the script for the vicious cannon fodder of the TV series.”
“It was the first time I was so angry by the talent show, Gu Rui hastily retired!”
“Gu Rui’s strength is not very good, I have always suspected that his ranking has moisture.”
“Does anyone still know that Gu Rui is the one touted by Trash Hongyun Entertainment.”
“Strong support will be condemned by the gods, and this kind of person will definitely be confused immediately after debut.”
Gu Rui’s agent Chen Jie handed him her cell phone, and said to him solemnly, “You are indeed red, but are you sure you can afford it?”
After reading the comments, Gu Rui’s face instantly turned pale. He swallowed and his voice trembled: “Why… how could this be…”
“Let’s find a place and discuss the countermeasures. The company is also helping you figure out a solution.” Sister Chen put away the phone and took Gu Rui to a place where no one was there.
at the same time.
After the announcement of the second stage rankings, Lu Nanyun temporarily ranked first. His company Chennan Entertainment is a small company that has not been established for a long time. Unexpectedly, the players sent to participate in the competition performed well.
Lu Nanyun is now number one, and the same company’s Man Long has also risen to the fourteenth place. He is stable in the finals, and maybe he can make his debut.
However, the closer to the final, the more intense the capital game between companies.
Obviously, Gu Rui’s current ranking has been affected, and many companies are waiting for him to fall out of his debut.
The staff found Lu Nanyun and said to him: “Your agent has just contacted the director team and asked you to call him. Go ahead.”
Lu Nanyun took the phone, nodded, and walked to the empty practice room.
After walking into the practice room, Lu Nanyun turned on his mobile phone and called his agent, Brother Yin. After connecting, he asked, “Hey, Brother Yin, what’s the matter?”
“Congratulations, Nan Yun, now ranked first!” Brother Yin’s voice seemed very happy on the other side of the phone, “I drank two bottles of wine yesterday for you to celebrate.”
“…Thank you.” Lu Nanyun said after a moment’s silence, “However, this ranking came out very early, so how come you know it now?”
“Uh, well, me, I’ve been busy recently…”
“Also, other agents come to the TV station to find people. Are you reluctant to pay for the travel expenses?” Lu Nanyun continued to complain, “Or did you go out to find a part-time job again?”
Brother Yin smiled a few times to hide his embarrassment, and said, “Actually, I asked you to call today because I really wanted to cheer you on. The company has been paying attention to your rankings, and I hope you can stabilize it. The first place…”
“Isn’t this what you and the company should do?” Lu Nanyun frowned slightly, “Internet promotion, organizing voting, and fan management, these are all things you should do.”
“The company doesn’t have that much money!” Brother Yin said frankly, “What you said, don’t spend a lot of money!”
Lu Nanyun took a deep breath, resisting the urge to complain, and said patiently, “Then I don’t think you need to make this call at all, so save the phone bill.”
Brother Yin said hurriedly: “How can I say that, at least I have to express the company’s expectations of you. Seriously, or else… Tell the Lu family and let them invest in Chennan Entertainment? Oh, right, Speak to Mantaki, he might be able to make his debut…”
When Lu Nanyun heard him mention the reorganized family that did not support his business, he calmly said “get out”, and then hung up the phone neatly.
Hold the first place…
It seems really not easy.
Lu Nanyun suddenly thought of Ji Zeyu, the young man who had been rising all the way, and he felt like a match against his opponent.
If in the end, Lu Nanyun wants to compete with Ji Zeyu for the first place, then he does not reject it, and even has some expectations.
Because the first and second will stand together when they read the rankings, and the final scene may hold hands and wait for the rankings to be announced…
Oh, that’s alright.
Lu Nanyun had expectations in his heart, but his expression was still calm. He walked to the door of the practice room, ready to return the phone.
At this moment, two voices suddenly came from the door, a man and a woman, and what they said made Lu Nanyun stop involuntarily.
“Sister Chen, how could I be like what they said?” Gu Rui pointed to the verbal comments of netizens, angry and unwilling in his heart, “I didn’t do anything wrong! Didn’t you say that I was utilitarian? Good thing? I just want to rank higher.”
Hongyun Entertainment spent a lot of money on Gu Rui, training fees, clothing fees, and various other expenses, plus the energy and thoughts that Sister Chen spent on Gu Rui, all of which made Hongyun reluctant to give up Gu Rui.
Sister Chen was also unwilling to see the commodities she invested in ruined. She comforted Gu Rui: “Netizens are very emotional. There are too many guys who say that they don’t have the ability to think independently and can’t see your efforts , You don’t have to blame yourself too much.”
“These people who scold me are all cerebral palsy, right?” Gu Rui became more and more angry. “It’s nonsense!”
In fact, all the comments made by netizens are conclusive and traceable. There is no need to spread rumors. Just describing what Gu Rui has done is enough to make countless people angry.
“Yes, Gu Rui, don’t care about them, the company will not give up on you, you will perform well next.” Sister Chen continued to comfort her.
Gu Rui still had the last glimmer of hope in her heart: “Sister Chen, will this matter affect my debut?”
“Of course not.” Sister Chen said, “It’s just that our company won’t swipe your votes during this time. It’s okay to drop your rankings, so that you won’t be targeted by others.”
“Even if the company doesn’t swipe tickets, I can definitely make my debut!” Gu Ruixin vowed, “It’s useless for those people to be jealous of me.”
Sister Chen nodded: “They are all jealous of you, don’t be angry. I have already contacted the program team so that they will not make any malicious editing of you in the future.”
Gu Rui clenched his fists: “What did the program team say?”
Sister Chen paused for a moment, and said with a smile: “Of course I agreed. They don’t dare to offend Hongyun Entertainment.”
However, the fact is that in the morning, Hongyun Entertainment made dozens of calls to the director team of “Stars Shine”, all of which were rejected.
However, since Gu Rui’s chess piece still has a glimmer of hope of salvation, let him know about it first.
“That’s good.”
Gu Rui’s mood finally improved. He suddenly remembered something and frowned, “Those people on the Internet praised Ji Zeyu while scolding me. This matter must have nothing to do with Ji Zeyu. We have to find a way to fight back.”
Sister Chen was stunned, and said, “Counter-attack? What do you want to do?”
“That kid has risen so fast, there must be a problem. As long as we find evidence, I think he can still be proud…”
Then, Gu Rui talked about his counterattack plan, describing it vividly. He had already imagined in his mind that Ji Zeyu was pulled into the water and he replaced Ji Zeyu as the top three player.
Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Lu Nanyun approached the door. He clearly heard the conversation between the two, and frowned.
After the two had finished speaking and left, Lu Nanyun held the phone tightly with his fingers, and his heart was filled with disgust and dislike for Gu Rui.
Lu Nanyun originally thought that Gu Rui would be honest after being taught by Ji Zeyu, but he did not expect that he would not change his life, and that he was sprayed like this by netizens and felt that he was wronged.
Shameless people are really invincible.
He must find a chance to let this guy completely get out of the entertainment circle.
After returning the phone to the program crew, Lu Nanyun walked to the dormitory, feeling a little uncomfortable because of Gu Rui.
When he walked to the door, Lu Nanyun paused and saw the scene he didn’t want to see the last–
Ji Zeyu is playing a game console with Xiao Huai.
What made Lu Nanyun feel even worse was that the two were lying on the same bed.
Xiao Huai hugged the pillow and lay next to Ji Zeyu. He stretched his head to watch Ji Zeyu play games, but his eyes fell on the handsome white side of the boy from time to time.
Ji Zeyu was lying on the bed, holding a game console in his hand, elbow propped on the pillow, his calf lifted freely, and his feet wore white cotton socks, swaying nonstop.
It’s almost like a kid in kindergarten.
While Lu Nanyun was cute by Ji Zeyu playing a game, he was sour in his heart because of Xiao Huai’s undisguised eyes.
“You go here, there are treasure chests on this road.”
While talking, Xiao Huai gently moved his head to the side of Ji Zeyu’s head, lightly entwining the gray-blue hair with the jet-black hair.
Ji Zeyu did not realize the ambiguous atmosphere at the moment, but seriously searched for the treasure chest, and then shouted: “Damn, Xiao Huai, you fool, there are so many hidden mobs here…”
As he said, Ji Zeyu stared at the screen closely, the frequency of finger operation became higher, and he began to fight monsters nervously, his feet that had been dangling ceaselessly stopped moving, and his whole body focused on the game.
Xiao Huai looked at Ji Zeyu’s nervous look, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curled up, his tone was slightly coquettish: “I don’t know, don’t blame me.”
Lu Nanyun’s fingers clenched tightly, he walked to the table and took a drink, but the sourness in his heart became more and more serious.
Xiao Huai glanced at Lu Nanyun without a trace, still maintaining an intimate posture with Ji Zeyu.
When Lu Nan saw Ji Zeyu holding the game console he had given him, he didn’t notice it at all, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He suddenly regretted that he had not personally given the game console to the other party.
But now, if Lu Nanyun directly said that the game console was given by himself…
It seems that the scene will be more awkward.
Lu Nanyun remembered what Ji Zeyu said, “This fan is a junior high school student,” and for a moment he couldn’t think of how to speak.
At this moment, Lu Nanyun’s mind flashed, and suddenly he thought of a way.
Ji Zeyu played games for a long time and was a little tired. He put down the game console, rubbed his eyes, and said to Xiao Huai, “I won’t play anymore. Let’s play again tomorrow.”
Xiao Huai nodded, his expression a little reluctant.
Ji Zeyu thought Xiao Huai was reluctant to bear the game console, and said to him: “Do you want to play, I will lend you if you want.”
Xiao Huai’s mind was not on the game at all. He shook his head and said, “I won’t. You can teach me later.”
Ji Zeyu suddenly remembered that Lu Nanyun taught himself to play games, and said to Xiao Huai: “I can play well, or you can let Lu Nanyun teach you, he is very good.”
There was a trace of admiration in the tone.
Lu Nanyun, who was originally in a huff, heard these words, and immediately stopped the movement in his hands, and he felt a sense of elation and joy in his heart. After a while, he said blankly: “He is too stupid, I won’t teach.”
Hearing this, Xiao Huai couldn’t help but grabbed the pillow in his hand. He was thinking of retorting. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Feng Yan, who was with his company, happened to be looking for him.
Xiao Huai had to swallow this breath, got out of bed and left the dormitory.
Ji Zeyu sat up from the bed, took a cup of water to drink, looked at Lu Nanyun, but was suddenly attracted by something in his hand—
It was a white wireless earphone protective cover with a very conspicuous brown deer sticker on it.
Originally such a thing was very common, but at this moment, Ji Zeyu suddenly felt that the sticker was familiar.
He suddenly remembered something, picked up the game console that had just been put down, and carefully looked at the deer sticker on it, and he could almost confirm that it was the same one.
Ji Zeyu slowly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Nanyun somewhat inconceivably, and found that the other person was also looking at him.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Nanyun asked casually, still holding the earphone sleeve in his hand.
“It’s weird…” Ji Zeyu walked towards Lu Nanyun with the game console, and said to him, “The sticker on your headset sleeve…why is the same as the one on my game console?”
Lu Nanyun looked at Ji Zeyu and didn’t say a word. He thought this hint was obvious enough, right?
Ji Zeyu stared at the earphone sleeve in his hand for a while, then suddenly realized, and said to Lu Nanyun: “I’m going, I know! The fan who gave me the game console shouldn’t be…”
While talking, he pointed to Lu Nanyun with his finger.
Lu Nanyun raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for Ji Zeyu to tell the truth.
“Could it be our two-tier fan?” Ji Zeyu said the new words he learned from Zhou Cheng, “so he gave you a headset case with Xiaolu attached.”
After hearing this, Lu Nanyun didn’t control his expression for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His expression management has always been a perfect score, but he actually broke the score because of Ji Zeyu.
Lu Nanyun really wanted to know how Ji Zeyu’s brain circuit grew?
At the same time, he also wanted to tell the other party: This TM is the game console I gave!
Seeing Lu Nanyun’s eagerness to speak, Ji Zeyu blinked his eyes: “What’s wrong, don’t you like double duty fans? But also, if the sticker for me is the same as the one for you, you will probably be unhappy. ”
At the end, I added another sentence: “But this sticker is really naive. The fan should be young. Don’t be upset. It’s not easy for people to save money for gifts.”
“…No.” In the end, Lu Nanyun couldn’t tell the truth. He really couldn’t say “I’m the young fan you said” in person.
What a shame.
Lu Nanyun decided to wait until later to find a suitable opportunity.
That night, the program team suddenly called the players together and announced a message to everyone:
“A music festival is about to be held in the next city, inviting our top eleven players to participate, but the organizer made a request, that is, the ranking must be the latest data as of tomorrow night, so there are still twenty-four hours Time, tomorrow evening will announce the list of participants, and adjust the position according to the data.”
As soon as the news was released, the players immediately became excited.
“Is it really possible to go to the music festival? This is my long-time dream…”
“It’s the first time I have the opportunity to perform on stage outside the show, I feel so looking forward to it.”
“The top eleven should not have changed much, after all, there are only twenty-four hours left.”
The contestants were excited because they were able to participate in the festival, and their eyes were full of anticipation. At the same time, everyone speculated about the lucky ones who could participate in the festival tomorrow.
On the Internet, the rankings of “Stars Shine” are fiercely competitive. Except for the top three, the top eleven rankings have been changing almost all the time. No one can guarantee that their rankings are stable.
Even the pattern of the top three is quietly changing.
Ji Zeyu’s popularity has risen steadily recently. In addition, after the Gu Rui incident, the audience generally felt pity for him. They all lamented how such a good captain met such a teammate. It was really too miserable. Coupled with his calm and rational attitude when dealing with participles, it was in sharp contrast with Gu Rui, and he immediately attracted a lot of fans.
The number of followers of Ji Zeyu’s personal Weibo has exceeded 5 million, which is not much lower than the top two.
On the player ranking list, Ji Zeyu’s votes grew rapidly, and he almost surpassed second place several times, and he was tightly behind Wei Yichen’s votes.
Ji Zeyu’s fans are very excited, and they keep voting hard, canvassing and changing votes for him everywhere, hoping to advance his ranking by one place and create a new record.
But this matter is obviously still difficult, and the fans of Lu Nanyun and Wei Yichen are not vegetarians.
Seeing that Ji Zeyu’s votes have been catching up, the top two fans did not dare to relax, they tried their best to keep the ranking.
All of a sudden, the top three votes collectively skyrocketed, gradually widening the gap with the following players.
However, Ji Zeyu’s votes and the first place have always remained within a very small range.
That night, when the “Star Way Shines” staff counted the votes, they found that the top three votes were soaring like crazy, and they all felt very confused.
Obviously, the program team did not release the news of the music festival. Why do the fans seem to be smashed?
And… the fans of Ji Zeyu’s house were too fierce. Several times they saw that they were going to surpass the people in front of them, and when they were just a little bit away, they were pulled apart again. The cycle repeated, even the staff became nervous, one after another. Guess what will happen to the rankings after twenty-four hours.
Will the fans of Lu Nanyun and Wei Yichen defend the top two positions as always, or will Ji Zeyu fans break the record?
Soon, news of the top three fierce competition spread like wildfire in the program group.
The players are also very curious about this.
“I heard that Ji Zeyu’s votes have risen very quickly, and it is likely to surpass the top two.”
“It’s not possible, Lu Nanyun and Wei Yichen have always been the first and second places.”
“I don’t think it’s realistic either. Their fans are too fierce. It’s hard for Ji Zeyu to get into the top two.”
“A Wei Yichen is hard enough to surpass, let alone Lu Nanyun, they have a lot of fans.”
In the talent show, popularity can snowball. Lu Nanyun and Wei Yichen have attracted much attention from the first episode of the show. There have been many shots in the follow-up, and their performance is also bright, which naturally has an advantage.
In Ji Zeyu’s view, in addition, they still have something they don’t have, that is, the protagonist’s halo.
Therefore, although Ji Zeyu was eager to rise in the ranking, he did not dare to hold much hope.
The twenty-four hours stipulated by the program group soon ended.
When the time came, the staff immediately sorted out the data, and the results surprised everyone-the top eleven changed very much.
First, the eleventh place was replaced. Originally, the eleventh place was Gu Rui, but after his abominable behavior was exposed, his reputation on the Internet became very bad. In addition, Hongyun did not give him the ticket, his ranking was directly It fell to sixteenth overnight, and this trend is still declining.
After Gu Rui’s ranking went down, Qi Aodong, who was originally ranked twelfth, naturally rose to eleventh. It can be said that he is one of the luckiest people this time.
Qi Aodong didn’t expect that he could squeeze in and out of the path and participate in the music festival with ten other contestants. For a while, he was a little overjoyed.
Ji Zeyu happily held his hand and said excitedly: “Aodong, you are so amazing, you finally made the top eleven.” In contrast, he has no interest in his ranking. After all, the two protagonists are not so easy. Beyond.
While Qi Aodong was pleased, he was nervous for Ji Zeyu. He looked at Ji Zeyu and said, “Will your ranking also rise?”
“I think it’s a bit difficult…” Ji Zeyu sighed softly, “If the third round of public performances is broadcast, there may be some hope, but I guess it won’t work now.”
After Gu Rui fell into his debut position, his face turned pale. He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, “Sixteen? How could I be sixteenth?!”
The company just didn’t give him a ticket for a day, so why did he fall to the sixteenth? !
There must be a problem with this ranking!
Gu Rui was indignant, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Zeyu was to blame. Coupled with the eleventh position occupied by Qi Aodong, maybe Xingyu Entertainment Company is behind the scenes.
Xingyu must be the key to him!
The program group announced the fourth to tenth place one after another, and the rankings have changed. The players are also very curious about the rankings of the remaining three people.
“Should Ji Zeyu not counterattack, right?”
“It’s hard to say, the possibility of real-time ranking changes is very high.”
“But I think Wei Yichen and Lu Nanyun are still stable.”
Gu Rui sneered when he heard this, how could Ji Zeyu surpass the other two?
Lu Nanyun looked at the teenager not far away, and couldn’t help but become nervous. Compared to ranking, he cares more about his position, he hopes he can stand next to Ji Zeyu.
“Next, I will directly announce the real-time liking of the top ranked player.” The director took the card, looked around and said, “I believe everyone is also very curious about who he is.”
Everyone held their breath.
“As of 8 o’clock this evening, I would like the player who is temporarily ranked first in real time, that is, the C member of the music festival performance. He is…”
After a pause, the director looked at someone among the contestants and raised the volume: “Ji, Ze, Yu!”
